Vidyut Jammwal step in again as Commando with bigger mission but script let down him. Director Deven Bhojani failed to engage the audience from beginning to Climax. Script has some many twist and turns so it look like Abbas Mastan's flick. Adah Sharma was totally usually with her Hyderabadi ascent. Esha Gupta was good in her role. Freddy Daruwala and Shefali Shah's character were so confusing till the end.Music was totally unimpressive."Commando- Commando" as background was totally wasted. It is better to watch previous installment Commando at home with family.

Clearly predictable and not as good as Commando 1
powerobject4 March 2017
Others might have reviewed this movie as oh-so-cool, Hollywood-ish, lots-of- TWISTS, etc but this movie doesn't live up to the standards of Commando 1 by the same hero - Vidyut. Well, there are NO TWISTS - the entire movie is CLEARLY PREDICTABLE - start to finish - and looks naive from audience point of view.
Vidyut is a great stunt actor and can be called the "Jackie Chan of India" but the director failed to leave any impression with the story or screenplay. The Jackie- Chan/Tony-Jha style flipping-over-automobiles, sliding-under-tucks, jumping- through-tiny-windows, running and chasing through the city is average at best and you won't get impressed. What is sad is that there are way too many DEADLY stunts in this movie (in Bangkok and Malaysia) compared to Commando 1 but they fail to impress as much as Commando 1 stunts did. Hero dodging hundreds of bullets from dozens of goons is exaggerated while another police officer simply DIES from a bullet to his SHOULDER!!! Seriously?? How can anyone die from a bullet wound to a shoulder???? I'm sure any other director with the same action scenes would have left a lasting and memorable impression - higher than Commando 1. Don't miss the old Commando 1 and watch it from the START and see all the beautiful and magnificent Camera work!!
Some viewers commented this movie has lots of twists - that's too naive and obviously they haven't watched any great movies. It is called a twist when one character fools another character in the movie but not when the characters fool the AUDIENCE all through the movie to reveal the facts at the end!! That's as dumb as 1960's story-writing. If you consider these tricks as twists, you need help :)
Some hilarious comedy in the form of heroine speaking Telugu and broken English is refreshing but again things are stretched too far.

full commando action
singlasahil-7754316 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Vidhyut Jamwal has created his commando image in a much fine way.Esha Gupta looks horny in her antagonist role.Also Adah Sharma who plays a comic police official has made her place her place in the movie.It has rightly shown whether the people are not good at their personal levels yet they they are ready to die for their nation.
Another let down sequel.
kjjames8117 May 2017
Sigh, a heavy sigh, why oh why.
I loved the first one, minus the singing but the first one had plenty if new style action scenes, acting was pretty good and overall thought it was excellent. So hearing a sequel wad getting made, I thought great this is either going to be as good as the first or better but no it went the other way, it was worse on all sides. The acting was dreadful, the action scenes were tiresome and boring. What happened to the martial art scenes that the first one had plenty of? This film played out stunt after stunt and very little martial art scenes. It seemed as if the film makers didn't know how to film action scenes. If they do make a third one, try and stick to the way the first one was filmed. Yes the first one had stunts and action scenes but they blended well together, this just seemed to be put together haphazardly.

Only for Vidyut fan and combat style action fans
kinjalns8 March 2017
Positive: -Great actions and stunts by Vidyut -Best action sequences you can find in Bollywood
Negative: -Average acting by other stars -Story is OK
First of all if you are not fan of combat style actions and stunts then avoid the movie. Now for the fans of action and Vidyut, you cannot miss this movie. Some of the best Bollywood stunts by Vidyut. No one has ever done such a great action with good stunts in history of Bollywood. He is present in most of the scenes. The best action sequences are the first one and the last one which you cannot miss. Other actors, overall story and overall presentation is average like typical Bollywood movie (I found most of the Bollywood movies predictable and average). Good thing is movie is continuous without any stupid romantic plot.
All in all watch this movie for great action sequences and stunts.

Worst movie ever
kvrounak18 July 2017
after very long time I finally watched it and I just want to say that don't dream of watching this movie. i think producer and director used only 20% of the budget. I felt so bad after watching the movie. Movies like this shows that why most of the Indian films don't go Oscar. Please stop making such movies. U can watch the movie for stunts, twist and of course Adah Sharma!!
High class action sequences makes the movie worth a watch !
nikhilbhalwankar4 March 2017
Vidyut Jamwal - The king of action is back with a bang. Commando 2 definitely lives upto the expectations. A great action film with all stunts looking very much real. Even though story is not that great, movie is having sudden twists and turns with lots of exciting action which lifts the movie up. It is indeed great to see bollywood action changing and moving close to reality stunts. Hope this trend continues.
The Desi Stunt King is Back with a Bang
puranjan1633 March 2017
Waiting for an action movie for a long time? Here's your perfect treat from Vidyut Jamwal. Yet once again he has proved that currently he's the best action figure of Bollywood industry. The story is like most action thrillers you have had seen with some contemporary touch of the burning issue of black money; though with little twists and turns (broadly speaking two major twists are there). Now coming to the acting skills, not much of that is needed I suppose in an action thriller so everyone was quite okay in their respective roles. The first person view concept is again brought in this movie ( I guess the 2nd Bollywood movie to do so). Luckily there is no romantic songs in the movie which I guess no one enjoys to see in a movie like Commando. Lastly the best part of the movie is the action, especially vidyut and thakur anoop singh were super awesome with there chiseled physique. But again the show stealer is obviously Vidyut with his super agile body and breathtaking stunts. So I would conclude by saying that all the action movie lovers your desi platter is right here.
Fast Paced Action Thriller with lots of Twists
bunnymehra19853 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Just watched First Day First show of this Action Thriller based on Black money, India most critical issue. Story part- A black money agent has been captured by Malaysian police, and India are sending their best agents to land him safely to India so that Black money can be recover from him, and obviously every Individual either agents, Ministers and Business man have their own secrets in this deal, and create lots and lots twist at regular interval. Direction from a comedian Deven Bhojani is amazing and this looks like an nail biting Hollywood Thriller from all angle, no useless songs, no unnecessary comedy and drama, no time waste, not at all, movie was complete point to point and didn't waste time of audience and hence will rate it a fast paced one, so unnecessary songs or romantic angle were not stretched much. Vidyut Jamwal is amazing as commando turned agent and his Action is superb specially first 3 minutes when he use ladder to climb 3 floor building, Esha Gupta is in completely different avatar here and didn't miss the opportunity to shine here, Same with Adah Sharma her accent is actually amazing as south Indian Bhavana Reddy trying her hands in Hindi Language, other Actors like Freddy daruhwala of Holiday fame, Shefali Shah, satush Kaushik, Adil Hussain and Thakur Aroop Singh are perfect in their limited characters. U will not get bore here thats for sure but so much twists and double cross can cofuse you a bit but main twist at climax clears all your confusion. Go for it if you are a action fan,its better than Force 2 and good story and perfect Direction, If you are expecting a melodrama and Romance here, then its not for you. No loo or snacks break before interval, otherwise you may lose the twist. Will rate this 8/10
Best of the three-movie series. Story in addition to action
vkap-1325216 July 2020
One doesn't go for this series unless one is an action fan. The movie delivers on tha front. The story is surprisingly good for what is supposed to be just an action movie. I liked the villain and the surprise later in the movie (though it is not really a mystery). Story keeps moving and if you like a good chase before a fight, you won't be disappointed.
Both Vidyut Jammwal and Esha Gupta are well cast and their characters are quite likeable. Addah Sharma's character is too cheesy and a real drag. Feel sorry for the actress that she had to portray such an over-the-top, suitable-for-farcical-comedy character while delivering on action sequences.
Typical case of filmy liberty
dineshprakash3 March 2017
Film revolves around dealing and bringing black money back to India and its advantages. First it seems that black money is in physical form kept somewhere then it looks that it's in electronic mode, this confusion kept going till climax. Even makers did not think that both form of money would effect the screenplay. Film starting action sequence is a bit good and takes care of mind but then pre interval boat sequence is unbearable. Characters establishment was so boring and just for the sake of surprise without any logic, like S.P attacking people due to Politician simple node and as his character progress, you have to laugh eventually. A lady encounter specialist inspector is kept in team for humor and glamour, at least she is quirky good in former. In the name of action she throws fire extinguisher on goons in boat fight and waves chains to goons in plane junkyard fight. A techie geek is being threaten to dire consequences and he urinates in fear then you come to know that it was process of special cell recruitment !? Interval point is to surprise you but you actually laugh at the twist they throw on you. After few minutes in second half I just surrendered myself that I can't understand this movie. Why did main villain leave main hero alive after interval or even didn't try to harm him? I Just had to helplessly watch that how weird this could be. Characters turns white, black and grey according to makers whims and fancies. A cockroaches moves and main lead comes to know that there is a hidden room there!? Climax is idiotic and unbearable. A big relaxation is that no songs comes in movie but with end credit. Performance wise Vidhyut Jamwal is undoubtedly good in action but what about acting! Adah Sharma as lady inspector is good among all actors. Rest cast are just OK.
This one failed !

commando 1 was a thousand times better than this one.the only thing appreciable is the action by Vidyut Jamwal and the twist in the story.otherwise worst cast(except Vidyut), worst dialogues, worst screenplay, worst of everything.......... oh god I wish our directors could be like of john wick, and deadpool
Very bad direction

Production messed up filming location
wafazura7 September 2021
A movie frilled with thrills and a masterpiece which marks the dawn of Indian Action
phoenixcyber5 March 2017
Okay so let us chart this into 3 major plots that suite any customer.
Action Freaks:
A muscular giant with pumping biceps opens himself to a gang of some deadly informers. Line and dialogues by Vidyut Jammwal behold the gravity of not only a polished actor but also what tone would have been delivered by a true commando.
Action scenes are natural and totally new. Action and Vidyut Jammwal are probably next facts which are only to be accepted and never to be questioned.
Suspense. The Movie is full of twist and turns and the cards shuffle thoroughly round the table. Even for an instance the movie will not let you think of messages on your phone, apart from one or two 20-30 seconds plot.
Comedy, Romance and Emotions. A mixed and decent balance has been offered by Deven Bhojani and the work has been done greatly.
Hats off to team. Wis you all the best.

Rather simple story line
sahilsingla-5625516 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Commado 2 seems to be a more simple plot than the first part of the franchise.Its the neck to neck fight of the protagonist and the antagonist with some others playing their side roles.The action, patriotism is worthy watching to which we can give the ratings.Vidhyut Jamwal has nicely executed his role and also a clap for Esha Gupta as the villain this time. Politician are rightly shown that if needed they can surrender even their children for the sake of the nation.
Disappointed!

I've seen the first film, and it's very impressive! I'm really excited to watch this film, because I really hope for more. I think, because this film was released in 2017 - four years after the first film was released - this film will have a fresh storyline and action. Pooja Chopra was the female lead in her first film, however she did not appear in this film. The female lead was taken over by Adah Sharma, who I had previously seen in the film Hasee To Phasee. I don't really know Adah Sharma, but I'm quite interested to see him here. Well ... I watched this film in 2021, it's been years since this film was released. I watched this, after I watched the first film, because my friend recommended it. Intrigued, I decided to watch this trilogy. The day before I watched the movie Commando 2, I already watched the first film, and it's really impressive! Vidyut Jammwal's actions and good looks fascinated me, so I was very excited to watch the movie Commando 2 and 3. Obviously, I have high expectations for this film.
In the first minutes, I was presented with Vidyut Jammwal's action against the guards of a building. Vidyut does a good job of the sequence, but it's a bit exaggerated. Well ... Since this is a Bollywood film, I quite understand it. There are many other Bollywood films with similar action, most of which are even worse. The action is not bad, but it can't be said to be good.
This film is quite confusing at the beginning. The director seems to have made the audience curious, and kept on guessing. I don't really like Adah Sharma here, especially her slightly annoying accent. However, that is precisely the uniqueness of Bhavna Reddy's character. I don't know what accent it is, but it looks like it's a South Indian accent. I still appreciate Adah, even though I'm a little annoyed. LOL.
I'm a little disappointed with the action of Karanveer Dogra aka Vidyut Jammwal here. He looks stupid for a Commando. For over two hours, I always cursed and said, because I was so upset with his actions. However, Vidyut Jammwal's acting and action sequences are already good, even though his character is very annoying. However, I just realized that I was tricked by the character Karan, after I watched the ending.
To Esha Gupta, she was very charming. Initially, I sympathized with the character Maria / Vicky Chaddha after hearing her life story, which she told Karan. Okay, I defended her at the time. However, I hated his character when it all came out, that she was the criminal. Amazingly, why did Vicky only kill her husband, while her enemy, who was clearly in sight, she let escape? Why did he have to reveal who he really was to his enemy, the one who was after him? In fact, at that time she was holding a gun, and she could shoot Karan who was clearly in front of him. Okay, I understand that the director didn't want to hurt the main character, but ... isn't that ridiculous?
The storyline is really bad. At the beginning of the film, we know that the Minister, told Inspector Bakhtawar that Karan was a very dangerous ex-convict. Meanwhile, when we watch the ending, we will be shown the "game" they are doing. In short, Bakhtawar knows who Karan is. And this is what is very disturbing and I really really want to convey. We know that there were three people who were sent by the Minister to arrest Vicky Chaddha, one of whom was an old man. Then, it was said that Karan blackmailed the man, and forced him to pretend to be a stroke sufferer, so that Karan could join the group. We'll see, if the Minister doesn't know that the old man is just pretending to have suffered a stroke. Then in the ending, it is told that Karan and the Minister had planned to arrest Vicky Chaddha for a long time. What?! I really don't understand this. I appreciate scriptwriters who bother to make a plot twist at the end of the story, but the plot twist actually destroys the whole story.
Adah Sharma is so annoying. When she did his stunts against criminals with chains, it just seemed ridiculous. She seemed to be playing with the chains, not fighting criminals.
The soundtrack isn't too bad. For the Haare Krishna song Haare Ram, it's a bit bad in my opinion. I liked the original version of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa film. But the remake version is really, really bad. However, I prefer the new version of the video clip, rather than the original video clip. The music video is more energetic than the old one, but for the song, it's still a better version of the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. For the T-Series, he should also include credit for the original background music maker. The original arrangement belonged to a South Korean boy band, but I forgot the name. When I watch the movie clips of the song on YouTube, I don't see T-Series writing credit for the original creators. Pritam took the music from them. I'm not a fan of K-Pop, but I don't like it when Bollywood takes their songs, without giving credit. For the song Tere Dil Mein, it was awesome. Armaan Malik's vocals really hypnotized his listeners. Unfortunately, the song was not included in the film. However, I think not including that song in the film is the right decision, because it can reduce the tension.
I don't know what else to say. Thank you for reading my review :)

Simple story line what best of this movie are the actions breaking the stupidity of industry of one punch 10 guys in air.Hats off for this and i had a great time watching the movie.This movie as a franchise is here to save all those silly movies classify as action but were just full of unreal action.Those who hate this movie seriously should go and watch drama movies as action fan would admire this movie.I can easily recommend this movie to anyone around the world because this is a wonderful action movie. Critics would for sure badly rate the movie as the first one that for sure they seriously hate creativity and experimenting new type of action movies.
Good job,need better direction

Indian Action Flick with Vidyut JAMMWAL
ZeddaZogenau14 November 2023
Continuation of the action hit with Vidyut Jammwal
Four years after the first film, Karan (Vidyut Jammwal), the one-man army, is back. This time he is on the hunt for black money that is withheld from poor Indian farmers. This time, lone fighter Karan has to prove himself as a team player, because he can't even handle this huge task alone. The team includes: a real computer geek (Sumit Gulati as Zafar), a shopping-crazy combat expert (Adah Sharma as Bhavna Reddy) and an obscure chief strategist (Freddy Daruwala as Bakhtawar Khan). Can they all cooperate with fighting machine Karan? Well, we'll see.
First we go to Malaysia, where the main person responsible for the black money scandal, a bank employee named Vicky Chaddha, was arrested. The responsible minister (Shefali Shah) from the Indian government can hardly believe her luck if there weren't some problems in her private household... In Malaysia, Karan and his colleagues meet the beautiful wife of the arrested Vicky. Not even the otherwise ascetic Karan can take his eyes off this absolute dream woman named Maria (Esha Gupta). And she too - despite the presence of her husband, who sits in a wheelchair - seems very impressed by the battle-hardened muscle mountain. A short time later, an unexpected event occurs that reshuffles all the cards...
You can already tell that a lot has changed, especially in the character drawing of protagonist Karan. But that creates room for bizarre secondary characters. Bhavna Reddy's shopping addiction is good for many a laugh. And Freddy Daruwala, who briefly appeared in "Force 2" (also produced by Reliance Entertainment) as Yash's (John Abraham) old friend, is convincing as an obscure colleague/antagonist. Esha Gupta as Maria is pure eye candy, but is also good for surprises.
As in the first part, the action is outstanding. Vidyut Jammwal simply delivers, all his fights are absolute blasts. The only thing that stands out is his fight with bodybuilder KP (Thakur Anoop Singh). Vidyut Jammwal should actually be much better known by now, his agility is simply phenomenal.
The South African Franz Spilhaus, who rightly received a nomination (for Best Action) at the Filmfare Awards, was once again responsible for the stunt coordination.
Well worth seeing for action fans! There is no singing either, only the Commando theme from the first film is played.
